Where ya at chris126? Are we all invited? - foxluv, Apr 24, 2011

Of course! I'm in Seville, Spain. - chris126, Apr 24, 2011

Rofl@Foxluv hahahaha:) - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2011

Answer 1

One simple error that I see is that you spelled asistir incorrectly

also address only has one r and two c's. dirección - 0074b507, Apr 24, 2011

maybe... unas tapas - 0074b507, Apr 24, 2011

Oooops! Thanks. - chris126, Apr 24, 2011

Answer 2

Yo pondría "Por favor no te olvides de mi fiesta de cumpleaños el viernes, 13 de mayo a las 21:00. ¡Cumpliré 50 años! Espero que puedas venir. Vamos a tener bastante cerveza y algunas tapas. La dirección es....."

Asistir is very formal, is for an invitation to your boss for example. For a friend, espero que puedas venir, espero que vengas, is better.

Answer 3

hi friend,

before all, tell us which one is your concern, spanish or english. your english sentence is good. for spanish translation of it, I suggest this:

Por favor, no te olvidas la fiesta de mi cumpleaños el viernes, 13 de mayo a las 21:00. Voy a cumplir 50. Espero que puedes venir. Se preparan bastante bebidas y tapas.La dirección: ...

you know, different spanish countries have different equivalence for "snacks".

I think Espero que puedas venir i.e. subjuntive following espero que. - kenwilliams, Apr 24, 2011

Ken, I would agree, since there is an element of uncertianty :) - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2011

Yes, agreed. I used the subjuntive. - chris126, Apr 24, 2011

Good question, JE. My concern is the Spanish. - chris126, Apr 24, 2011

"no te olvidEs" is the correct form - blackvir25, Apr 24, 2011
